Anna Eliza Gardner was born near Peru, Iowa Feb. 4, 1850 and died at her home near Macksburg April 10, 1923 aged 73years, 2 months 6 days. She united in early life with the Baptist church and remained a member until the time of her death.
She was united in marriage to Jacob K. Moffitt, Jan. 6, 1870, he having departed this life, March 3, 1912. To this union were born five children, Elvin E, Maggie B, Vernie E, of Lorimor and Allie M and Everett J. of Macksburg.
She was a kind and loving mother ever ready to do whatever her task might be. She was sick but a short time, but was ever ready when she might be called to leave this home to a home beyond.
She leaves besides her five children, 9 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her death. Funeral services were conducted Friday at the Baptist church in Macksburg by Rev. E. F. Thompson of Lorimor. Interment took place in the Lorimor Cemetery.
